Execution States Standard Definition
Passed (Passed) A test is deemed to pass if its actual result matches its expected result.
Failed (Failed) A test is deemed to fail if its actual result does not match its expected result.
Error (Execution error) A test produces the Error result when there is a problem executing the test itself (for example, a network error or a mistake in the test script that makes it impossible to continue).
Blocked (Blocked) A test case that cannot be executed because the preconditions for its execution are not fulfilled.
Partially Blocked (Partially blocked) A test case that cannot be completely executed because some of the preconditions for its execution are not fulfilled.
PermFailed (PermFailed) A test case whose primary objective was to validate functionality that is no longer provided in the product.
Deferred (Deferred) A test case that cannot be completely executed in a given release but will likely be run in a later product release.
Incomplete (Incomplete) A test case that has not been completely executed for various reasons.
Inconclusive (Inconclusive) A test case that produces a result that does not have a clear result and requires further investigation.
